Brevity has never been a strong point. </p> <p>(In high school, my English teacher would <i>beg</i> the students to give her at least five pages.

I usually write a place holder lead and then write the rest of the story and have to go back and fix it.</p> <p>for fiction: transitioning from scene to scene is difficult for me. I am also learning that I have a tendency to both show and tell in my work. So I over explain sometime.</p> <p>My biggest weakness is just sitting down to write. My strength is that I'm a good writer, after all it is how I make a living! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-strengthweaknesses-as-a-writer#post-2069279 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:37:49 +0000 mrbee 2069279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing some fiction writing for the first time in a long time, and finding out a lot about my weaknesses as a writer! I'm ok with writing non-fiction, but dialogue is harder for me. But where I am really awful is descriptive text.</p> <p><a href="http://www.deniserobbins.com/articles_description_in_fiction.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.deniserobbins.com/articles_description_in_fiction.html</a></p> <p>Working on it!</p> <p>What are your strength/weaknesses as a writer? </p>
